Tonsillitis or inflammation of the tonsils is a painful condition of throat, and in its chronic form it can become a source of recurring episodes of colds. With the winter setting in, it needs a special mention.
There is a marked change in the attitude of the medical world as regards the tonsils. The old custom of “tonsil snatching”, that once meant millions of tonsil operations a year, is dying a well-earned death.
On this point, orthodox medicine has rallied down to the conservative view held by the homeopathic school. It has been an unsaid homeopathic rule to save the tonsils whenever possible. With careful application of the properly indicated remedies, I have seen homeopathy succeeding in many cases when failure seemed certain, and especially among children in whose case excising (removal) is rarely, if ever, justifiable.
According to homeopathic philosophy, such local conditions are a result of the weak immune system and almost invariably due to constitutional disturbances. The removal of tonsils does not improve these disturbances in the least. Homeopathic philosophy stresses on the necessity to study the condition of the body as a whole before one deals with tonsillitis.
Tonsils form part of the body’s defences. Their removal generally means rendering the body more susceptible for infections. Also the tonsils are a kind of indicators of the general health of the body. One might compare them to the barometer in the hall. Well, certainly one cannot improve the weather by smashing the barometer!
The treatment of enlarged tonsils with homeopathy has two stages in cases of long standing. Acute inflammation needs to be treated with a different set of medicines and its recurrence to be treated once the acute stage is over. Deep-acting medicines are required to treat the constitution and bring about lasting relief. It is true that this method takes a longer time, but it is also the best one because not only the tonsils are cured but also the patient.
Belladonna
It stands at the head of the list of remedies in tonsillitis. Very useful in acute stages where tonsils are bright red and swollen, and there is difficulty in swallowing fluids
Baryta carb
It is indicated in tonsillitis, with the formation of pus, when the right side of the throat is worse than the left, enlargement of the glands in the neck, under the jaw and behind the ears. It is one of the best remedies for removing the tendency to tonsillitis, particularly in children, who are sensitive to every little exposure to damp or cold weather which leads to a fresh attack of tonsillitis. It is one of the remedies to prevent the return of this condition and changes the constitutional tendency of the patient.
Iodides
Iodides in various combinations are extremely useful in treating inflamed tonsils.
Constitutional treatment
It is aimed at stopping the recurrence of such attacks. Deep-acting medicines like Tuberculinum, Calcarea Phos, Psorinum and Sulphur are often employed

Sir, my son is 11 year old and suffering from tonsillitis by birth itself. He undurgone long Homeo treatment for more than 4 years. I have most of the prescriptions with me. BUT he did not get permanent releif. At present he have enlarged tonsills with pus formation. Here at Bhopal, Dr. SubbaRao prescribed LYCAPODIUM 30 & Byco 10.
I want to know that .. is it permanently curable or not? OR Shall I decide to get it operate? I am not in favour of operation to be done. Because I got operated during my child hood & I am suffering lot of throat problems till date. (I am 46yr old)
Please recommend and suggest. If possibe I can visit you too for treatment, if possible.
Regards

I’d like any advice on whether or not we should have our 6 year old daughter’s very large Tonsills removed over the summer. They are practically touching each other and he has a hard time breathing at night. It is very loud but doesn’t seem to wake her up at Children’s and he said she would definately get a better quality of sleep but he also said we could wait until she grows more and the toncils won’t be so big in comparison to her throat.
I am just not sure what to do. I don’t want to put her in surgery unneccessarily.
I’d love to hear from others that have had this done and hear more about the pros and cons. my contact no. 09985852398
my Son is 6 and 6 month year old . he sufferd tonsillitis 3 year before . Doctor adviced that it is only the operation solution , So is any treatment in homeopathic-treatment if yes so call in my number 07386997869 .Thanks and By
My son has had tonsillitis for about 4 years in his toddler age. After taking about 10 bottles of antibiotics, we were introduced to homeopathy by a medical doctor. She prescribed a homeoparhic remedy after carefully examining his condition and personality. We have been using homeopathy ever since and it seems to work. Some scientist argue that homeopathy is no different to placebo, but I cannot see a placebo effect in a 3 year old with tonsils covered in white pus. Tonsillitis is a serious condition and should be treated carefully. It cannot possibly be cured with a placebo.
